Maybe I Shouldn’t – Matt Bordens

-- = pause

++ = pause with 2 knocks

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Well I was sittin' at home

Got a call on my phone from my buddy --

Asked if he'd stop by the store

And pick up a case a beer ++

He said, "Wish I could, but hey Matt

I ain't got the money" --

I said, "Get on back, don't you worry

The party is going on here" ++

Got girls runnin' round in the kitchen

They're all half naked ++

I'm hopin' and prayin' to God

They stay the night ++

And I'm thinkin' that maybe I shouldn't

But I say, "What the hell, c'mon boys

Let's have a good time"

[Chorus]

D G

Honey I know you're home sleepin'

A D

And I'm out runnin' wild

Don't you ever forget that

A D

They call me the wild child

[Verse 2]

Walked out on the back porch

And talked to a purty lady ++

She came up to me and

Had asked me for a light ++

I said, "Whatcha smokin'?

Marlboros or marijuana?" --

She said, "Both" with a grin

"But I like the cocaine line" ++

Well we don't need Scooby Doo

To solve this mystery ++

It's clear to see the "want me"

In your eyes ++

And I'm thinkin' that maybe I shouldn't

My girl wouldn't know

But still, it just wouldn't seem right

[Chorus]

D G

Honey I know you're home sleepin'

A D

And I'm out runnin' wild

Don't you ever forget that

A D

They call me the wild child

[Verse 3]
